RN043 The Burnham Chair, £1795.00

Elegant, comfortable and a talking point without equal, The Burnham Chair has already been awarded glowing tributes from all who have seen it. Taken from a traditional EastAnglian design, The Burnham Chair is named after Nelson's birthplace and is crafted in burr oak and yew by Williams & Robinson in their Norfolk workshop. Each Burnham Chair contains 3 unique links to Nelson and Trafalgar; links which add to the prestige and long-term value of these exquisite chairs. * The back panel of the chair is made from oak recovered from HMS Victory during her refitting. * Inserted in this panel is a sterling silver medal bearing a cameo portrait of Nelson. The medal is made from a special refining of silver (Victory Silver) which includes a small percentage of copper recovered from HMS Victory. * The third link is the most obvious, yet the most poignant. The words 'Remember Nelson' carved into the chair back serve as a constant reminder of Captain Sir William Hoste's flag signal at the Battle of Lissa in 1811. His simple message 'Remember Nelson' inspired his men to an overwhelming victory against the French. Height 37.5", Width 18.5", Depth 14.5"
